The following advice, clipped from thu
Florida Herald, is timely, truthful anc
to the point. and we take pleasure in re
publishing it: Those who contemplat,
locating in this State should make visi

satisfy themselves as to the state of tn,
climate during that season. Florida il
summer is far more preferable thar
many places in the North. Here W,
have cooling showers almost daily, an,
cool and refreshing breezes from eithe
the Atlantic or the Gulf. and the night
are cool and comfortable
